I have been working at Grand Canyon University

Pros

The salary is good, but considering the hours you will work, along with the stress, it will definitely be a compromise in quality of life for the pay. The health insurance benefits are great, and free tuition is offered for employee and family. Working in the field and helping others is rewarding.

Cons

GCU is now facing more and more competition, and struggling to remain relevant in the nationwide online education market. Struggling efforts to meet goals are resulting in micromanagement

Advice to ManagementAdvice

If you don't focus on the university's reputation, by doing things in the best interest of your students, your current enrollment may be your last. Get your programs right, tell your students what to expect from the start, and don't mess up their accounts and financial aid.
